About It
Good pastures may supply «H of the minerals es-
sential to the profitable production of big honed
beef cattle. If the minerals are present in the soil
they pass from the soil through the pasture forage
to the animals. Bnt adequate amounts of phosphor-
ous and calcium are not always-supplied by natural
sources. Soils become worn out—or the minerals
may have been lacking in the soil in the first place.
In such cases, additional minerals are needed to
make up the difference. Ask your county agent
for recommendations for providing adequate miner-
als for livestock.
